Entire FOX News Panel Defends John McCain Over Confrontation With NY Times While Ignoring The Underlying Issue Of McCain's Lack Of Candor
Here's a perfect example of Fox News bias: Hannity & Colmes discussed John McCain's confrontation with New York Times reporter Elisabeth Bumiller on Friday, March 7, 2008. But the sole guest was Republican pollster Frank Luntz, offered as usual as simply an expert on "words that work." Luntz and both hosts defended McCain. Meanwhile, the clip of McCain's confrontation, along with the parameters of the discussion, neatly avoided the underlying issue behind Bumiller's questions: that...

It wasn't until mid-December that Scott Brown's campaign team knew for certain they had a chance. An internal poll showed intense interest in the race to fill Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.

The campaign then made the bold decision to cut this ad: There was worry inside the Brown campaign that the public might react negatively to the outright comparison of Brown to Kennedy. That didn't happen. The ad was electric. It...

MA 10 Moved From Safe to Democrat Favored
Democratic Cong. Bill Delahunt’s retirement creates another open seat opportunity for Republicans. But even though Scott Brown (R) won Massachusetts’ 10th District by 20 points in his historic statewide win earlier this year, this seat is a long ways away, geographically and politically, from Democratic open seats in the South.
